November indulgence cemetary technicaly closed

[Steveabrous]

Today, nov 8th, is the last day to gain a plenary indulgence for a soul in purgatory. I went to confession and mass after work, then drove to the Catholic cemetary, went into the cemetary and said an Our father for a soul in purgatory only after I read on the board that the cemetary was open from dawn til dusk. It was very much dark at the time 6:00 p.m. in the evening. I thought to myself after I read it "I’m here I’ll just say a quick prayer.

Did my indulgence count? Or did I sin being there after hours therefore nullifying the indulgence?

Does the cemetery continue to exist after 6pm?

God doesnt have business hours, so dont worry about it. As long as you didnt sin bteween Mass and then, your act freed a soul from Purgatory. Nice work! And no, what you did has absolutely nothing to do with sin…I dont think entering a cemetary after dark is a sin…kind of creepy though! Haha! You’re 100% fine! God bless.
